Microsoft PC Manager keeps cleanup rules, boost schedules and health settings in app data on Windows: one folder with options plus task state. The tools run on schedules you define on each PC you own.
Copy the data folder with PC Manager closed for migration. Exact folder names can vary by release channel, so confirm live paths first. Reinstalls without copies reset every rule to defaults on each PC.
